FUNNY! Does Jimbo have food poisoning?

Cubs acquired RHP Steve Trachsel from the Orioles for infielder Scott Moore and RHP Rocky Cherry. A Trachsel trade always seemed likely, but it's pretty surprising that the Cubs are reacquiring him. He does give the team a nice insurance policy should a starter falter down the stretch, but as things stand now, he doesn't figure to be an upgrade over Sean Marshall. We're assuming that's who he'll replace if he enters the rotation right away.

Ya gotta love Trachsie's K/W numbers: 45/69 in 140 2/3 IP.

Nothing like making a move for the sake of making a move. Hendry has obviously changed his addiction from food to crack.

So what's the corresponding roster move to create room for him on the 25 man roster?
